MATERIALLY Lowor.

Materially Lower.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The stock market
was quiet and firm In the forenoon, but
weak and feyerish later in the day, and
again prices are materially lower. Some
thing was made OF the stories Of cuts in
passenger rates on western and southern
roads, and especially by a story OF q large
failure In the iron business In Pittsburg.
The bulk OF the selling was by the board
room traders, and It ia thought that the
short interest was largely increased to-day.
The market closed at the lowest figures
reached.
Money on call has been quiet, opening
at 0, ranging from TO O, last loan at o,
and closing at bid. Sterling exchange

lula Friday afternoon. 1t consisted of
an engine and tender, passenger car,
baggage car and 61 box cars loaded
with wheat. The wheat weighed 9l5
tons, or 1,S300O0 pounds. To haul
this load to Portland the o. r. & n.
Co. charges s4,575. As it viii be nee
essary for over five trains of like di-
mensions every day for the next year
to remove the present crop of the in
land empire, the o. r. L n. Co. is
likely to pull a considerable sum OF
money from the bottle in which they
have this section. The freight money
which our farmers will pay to the

four lines of rails-and better than
